[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Anti-Energy Buffers:[/b] Most battleships are equipped with a series of "buffers" on their hull which partially deflect incoming energy weapons away from critical areas.
[b]Combat Thrusters:[/b] When in combat, Battle Ships can activate their secondary thruster arrays to provide an incredible amount of speed an maneuverability, far above and beyond what the normal ship can do. These arrays must be used wisely, however, as they very quickly drain the Battle Ship's energy reserves.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]CIWS Cannons:[/b] To conserve energy, Battle Ships use conventional rapid firing ballistic launchers for close-range defence.
[b]Heavy Energy Cannons:[/b] Battle Ships are equipped with 8 battleship-class energy cannons, configured in 4 launchers with 2 each, 2 on each side of the ship.
[b]Mega Energy Cannon:[/b] The Battle Ship's main weapon is a very large and powerful energy cannon fired from the front of the ship.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The main combat ship of the MGME, Battle Ships sacrificed size and armour for much higher mobility then the average ship. The MRC found a large number of these ships still stored within the Mother Ship.
